Ouch, that is rough. I wonder if they had worked with their new partners at Sideshow if they could have gotten any better shipping rates through them? Being a small business with an item of this size has its disadvantages.
Yeah just shipping everything USPS priority send like a mistake, particularly for overseas buyers. DHL or EMS should be their choice for international buyers.
There is something to be said about the lack of visual appeal to the offering. I watched the video where they tried to explain the engineering they want to use to give the wings the ability to move down and to the side (as if in flight) but as of right now it's only been shown as a somewhat posable statue. The video made the tail look super flexible but they were even saying that this wasn't how the final version would work and that there was a wire running through the test version that wouldn't be there in the end.
Even something like close ups of what they intend the claws to look like would help. I do think they are relying on the good faith attitude of their fans for this though - they're so reliable that they know folks will trust them most of the time. This feels like too big a project to not do a little more than rely on faith though.
A live tracker would help with the FOMO too.
What would a live tracker do for people that the daily update doesn't?

Maybe not much now but during the last streak of the campaign will be critical. Fence sitters will often join in if they’re seeing stretch goals unlocked live. We could easily go from 1700 to 4000 in a day at the end but not know it without the counter being live. If it was like that 4000 could have been even higher. So many Kickstarters and Haslabs have crazy final days. I’ve seen things like Galactus finally fund in the last few days and then more than double the initial funding goal. Daily updates are fine now but a live counter needs to happen by the end.
